"The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt." Sylvia Plath
When we begin to question our ability to achieve our dreams we start to lose what is actually possible for us. We let fear and doubt crawl into our lives and in the worst case, completely paralyze us from taking any more action.
We can even take it a step further in regard to chasing dreams. Since the playing field is even more competitive, and doubt comes into our minds, that's when it actually does ruin everything or seems to put a total stop to everything we've ever wanted in this life.
Dreams are going to take everything you've got. Dreams are going to demand your attention, your care, your time, your patience and everything else in the book. They are going to need you to be on top of your game every single day and take no days off. When you decide to slack on your dreams, you really have no idea how long you've set yourself back.
When you overhear someone talking about their dreams and what's possible for them you can get the sense that they really do believe it's going to happen. Of course they don't have all the kinks figured out and know exactly what the path is going to look like, but you can hear the possibility of it happening nonetheless.
But when you listen to someone who is talking about their passions, and you get a sense that they are slightly on edge about it all, you can be pretty sure that they will never achieve what they set out to do. It's not that you are rooting against them, but it's that you know dreams take everything and giving it less than that, well, it just won't work out in any way.
So devote your life to your dreams and what is possible for you. Other people may not be able to see what is possible for you but it's your dream and you are responsible for making it happen. Bring that into the world.
Go for it. Give it a shot.
